BIOGRAPHY

Forming through an advertisement at an Internet portal site in 1995, Deli Spice has been regarded as the best Korean modern rock band by fans and critics ever since their debut album was released in 1997.

Originally, Deli Spice was formed by Yune June Hoe, Kim Min Kyu, Oh In Rok (drums) and Lee Seung Ki (keyboards) when the group started their career in 1995. After playing small club gigs for two years, the band started to win popularity and followers throughout the indie music scene. As a result, the band signed a contract with a local record company. It was also at that time Oh In Rok was replaced by Choi Jae Hyuk.

"Deli Spice", the self-titled debut album released in 1997, was critically acclaimed upon its arrival. The band's melodious guitar-pop sounds, distinct lyrical themes appealed to the youth who were tired of dance music and ballad that dominated the music market. And the single "Chow Chow" became an anthem of the young generation.
